If Progressive Field isn't packed - WE don't deserve to seem them in the playoffs.

I think I'm going Thursday... will be the last game I get to watch before my wedding Saturday. Imo tues and wedn are must win games. Can't afford to lose the series. Although carmona has been pitching really well since he came off the dl.

I am sure there will be plenty of Detroit fans at the game, I am expecting a packed house...

With the way we have played the last 2 months, this is a must sweep IMO. Winning 2 out of 3 and only picking up 1 game in the standings isn't really that big of a deal.

Every game gained back is a big deal when it is only 4 and there are 45+ games remaining. They aren't going to win the division with a sweep. So while it would be nice, just gaining 1 back is a success.

 

[The Oi]

Oh, there will be a sweep alright. 0-3

 

[jnizzle]

We better win, and not just because of the playoff implications but your man threw down some cash on this game, and I am poor as it is

 

[I.K.W.T]

Oh, there will be a sweep alright. 0-3

The Tigers struggle at The Jake, 0-12 the last 12 games. I don't think this will be the case.

 

[chiefwahoo]

I agree with everyone that this is a big series, but we do play these guys 9 more times after these 3. I'd be more than happy to take 2 out of 3 and move on to the next series.

i like it. keep the lineup the same. try to bring some continuity to the lineup instead of changing it around every other game. keep the kids in there (kipinis / chiz). need a big win tonight. how ironic is that 2 of their 3 best hitters (peralta and vmart) our former players.
